In a controversial first, a team of researchers have been creating embryos that are part human and part monkey, reports the Spanish daily El País.
Daring biologist: According to the newspaper, the Spanish-born biologist Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, who operates a lab at the Salk Institute in California, has been working working with monkey researchers in China to perform the disturbing research.

Cloning humans or cross breading humans with animals for organ harvesting is not a new idea. Appalling and one of the most evil things humans can do to each other, but not a new idea.
I saw that in the news yesterday and was thinking about it when I posted the comment.
Thank you for the link.
Two of my children went into and left careers in genetic engineering and cloning research. One was working with infectious diseases.
